Hannah Gadsby.
Hannah Gadsby has scored two nominations for the 71st annual Emmy Awards while Daina Reid earned her first nomination for directing an episode of The Handmaid’s Tale.
Australian cinematographer Zoe White also landed a nomination for her work on The Handmaid’s Tale, and production designer Deborah Riley for Game of Thrones episode The Bells.
Also, DOP Germain McMicking is up for an Emmy for his work on the HBO True Detective episode The Great War and Modern Memory.
Netflix’s Hannah Gadsby: Nanette is in contention for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) and writing for a variety special. Reid was nominated for the episode Holly, as was White, one of two episodes of the Hulu series which Reid directed; the other was Postpartum.
Riley had already won four Emmys for the HBO show, shared with art director Paul Ghirardani and set decorator Rob Cameron.
HBO’s Game of Thrones received a record 32 nominations, followed by Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (20), HBO’s Chernobyl (19), NBC’s Saturday Night Live (18), HBO’s Barry (17), FX’s Fosse/Verdon (17) and Netflix’s When They See Us (16).
HBO also led the nominations by TV platform with 137, beating last year’s winner Netflix which got 117, followed by NBC (58), Amazon (47), CBS (43), FX Networks (32), ABC (26) and Hulu (20). Fox and Showtime tied for ninth place with 18.
The gender imbalance persists. This year there were only 24 acting nominations for people of colour, plus two for reality show hosts of colour. That is a major dip from last year’s record 38 and even less than 2017 which had 27 diverse nominees.
Female directors accounted for just 18 per cent of the nominees in all six directing categories.
But women held steady in the writing categories with 34 nominations out of a total of 165, or 20.6 per cent. Last year, there were 33 female writers nominated, representing 21.9 per cent of the 151 recognized.
The 2019 Emmy Awards will be presented in Los Angeles on September 22 US time, screened here on Fox8 on September 23.
